36-23 217th Street, Queens, NY 11361

This two-family house located at 36-23 217th Street in Bayside was built in 1940 and is currently owned by Ric Hung. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in May 2023. During this period, there were complaints about heat and hot water (which were reportedly resolved), along with electrical and water leak issues that were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A subsequent inspection on May 18, 2023, revealed multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in the first-floor apartment, including several concerning lead-based paint hazards that required remediation using proper safety protocols. These violations encompassed peeling or deteriorated paint on door frames, window frames, and baseboards, as well as issues requiring the painting of metal surfaces and electrical outlet repairs. Prior to this, the building underwent a rodent inspection in April 2022, which it passed with no violations recorded.

The property's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023, with multiple HPD violations needing attention. The building's age and the nature of these violations indicate several areas requiring maintenance, though all cited violations were marked as "Closed" following inspections or corrections. The most recent available data shows the building currently has no open violations or service requests on record.
